WONDERFUL FACTS - This Bird Can Fly for Six Months Without Landing Once.

Alpine Swifts -- weigh just under a quarter-pound, glide along on a nearly 22-inch wingspan—and, it turns out, sleep while airborne ...

It´s a strange thing with language. In Sweden we call a forest with this kind of look a Troll forest in direct Swenglish translation. If you try to translate that it will be enchanted forest which to my mind is a synonym for magic forest and has nothing to do with trolls :) Taken in the Glaskogen nature reservation in Arvika Sweden.
